Marshall Aerospace (Hall 4 Stand A12) comes to the Farnborough airshow fresh from winning a £1.52 billion ($2.87 billion) contract to maintain 24 Lockheed C-130K and 25 C-130J Hercules transports flying with Britain’s Royal Air Force (RAF). Over the next 18 months, responsibility and related risk for support will pass from the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) to private industry, which must guarantee C-130J and C-130K availability throughout the types’ remaining operational life–until 2030 for the younger C-130J model.
